đšCHAPTER 10đš
MATILDAâS POV
âWhat kind of stupid imagination is thisâ I thought as I brought myself back to reality. How I wish I could pull the idiot back and deal with her for having a hand in my elimination⌠I thought and glared hĂŚrd at her as she walked away.
Excuse me bossâs brother, I said rudely but trying to sound polite. I wonât leave this house until your brother returns and ask me to leave himself, so Iâd like you to keep your money to yourself and spend it on something better⌠I replied him
Your braveness is one of the reasons why I detest you so much. A maid isnât supposed to talk back at her boss or his relation, but that isnât your case as youâve chosen to be impolite, rude and stubborn.
âLeave now or youâll forever be tormented in this houseâ he said and I scoffed. âIf only you know how much of a torment I can cost you instead, you wonât be saying thisâ I thought.
âHere comes her baggagesâ the errand girl said as she brought my belongings. âTake them outside, sheâll follow upâ he replied without taking his gaze off my face.
I decided to go spend sometime with the gatekeeper before the boss arrives, so I left the room and followed the fool carrying my things making him think Iâve obliged to his order.
I wore a sad look on my face as I dragged my feet to the gate where she dropped my things. âAnd where are you going to with your things?â The gatekeeper asked as soon as I got to his place.
âThe bossâs brother asked her to evacuate this building before the boss returns, so open the gate for her so sheâll leaveâ Mia replied and I laughed slightly but quickly comport myself.
The gatekeeper tutted and gave her a pitiful look. I guess he saw what i did. âI canât do that without the permission from my boss, so let her stay here and wait till he returnsâ he replied
Whatâs all these about, why are you here? The boss asked as soon as he got to the compound.
âI was asked to leave the house but begged to stay till you return so Iâll get the real order from youâ I replied
Gabriel asked you to leave my house? He asked.
Not Gabriel, but your brotherâŚI replied and he hissed before walking away. âDo you wanna tell me you donât know thatâs his brotherâs name? and are you sure you lost your memory? Because youâre not different from the Matilda I once knew, I guess youâre only trying to pretend⌠Justin, the gatekeeper said.
Is it that obvious? I mean is my acting that bad? I asked and he nodded.
âWell! I did but Iâve regained it since a long time. And now that youâve known, I swear if you rat me out, Iâll make you get sackedâ I replied
Youâre now like a sister to me, though I once hated you but Iâve grown to like you, so Iâve got no reason to rat you out. Just make sure you put more effort in your acting so you wonât get noticed⌠He replied and I put on a smile.
âIâll get going now, I need to know my fateâ I said and scurried away
âGo get your things back in,sideâ boss said immediately I entered and I saw his brother glare at me but who cares. I went further in,side and told Mia to go return my things back to my room as ordered by the boss though Iâm the boss in my own.
WEEKS LATER
Everythingâs been going on well lately and no one has ever been on my nerves again ever since the boss warned them not to. The mood got ruined when one of the bossâs doc-ments got missing and the blame was out on me.
Where did you put my doc-ment? He asked again but I remained adamant because I didnât take anything.
âWhen have you ever lost anything so important in this house, and what do I know the doc-ment is meant for that Iâd have to steal it? Ask someone to search the wh0le rooms if youâre that curiousâ I replied bravely
âImma ask you for the very last time, where did you put my doc-ment? Look, if I lose this contract, I promise imma kill youâ he yelled again but all I did was stand on my ground.
Search everyoneâs room for me now!!! He yelled at his bodyguard and he ran off immediately while Gabriel followed. While I and other workers waited for their return as we were ordered to.
âWe found it sirâ Tom, his bodyguard said as he and Gabriel returned minutes later. âIn Matildaâs bagâ he added before the boss could even speak and all gazes was directed at me.
Explain how this got to your bag now, before I call the cops to come for you!!! He half yelled and I scoffed.
Why am I not surprised and even scared that Iâm being set up? I said unfolding my folded arms. You can call on the cops for all I care, but if I ever receive punishment for what I didnât do, I swear Iâll make life miserable for who so ever did this to me⌠I replied
âThis is what you get for not answering me when I told you to let this lady goâ Gabriel said as he took his seat.
I scoffed as I watched the boss call the cops. âGet on your knees and plead for his forgivenessâ Gabrielle, one of we workers whispered to me.
Hi Peacemaker to add you to d stories +2348037873157
âI want yâall to know I didnât lose my memory, all I wanted was a shelter which Iâve been receiving untill now⌠I said and they looked at me again
What!!! The boss said obviously shocked at my sudden confession
âIâm sure you know who I am. Iâll be coming back for you all. You may send me back to the street when I return, but Iâll make sure I find the real culprit and hand him or her to the cops before leaving your house. I really donât mind being a beggar once againâ I said even though Iâll be sad to be one again.
Whatâs with this bluffing? Gabriel asked and I shot him a glare.
The cops arrived minutes later and cuffed my hands as theyâve been told to.
I followed them as instructed but not without taking a glance at my two suspects.

I was about turning after looking at them when the door opened. And whatâs going on here, where do you think youâre taking her to? I heard the person say and I turned immediately on recognizing the voice.
đšCHAPTER 11
MATILDAâS POV
Where did Danielle get this courage from? Sheâs the weakest among us and sheâs able to get everyoneâs attention at that. I thought
THE ONE I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR: Chapter 11 â 20. Thingscouplesdo.com
What did you just say? The boss asked her and the cops also looked perturbed. Bro! Your workers really have some nerve in them, see how she entered with the motive of making them stop what they were doing⌠Gabriel interfered.
Well! I guess the environment isnât welcoming at the moment, so I was trying to ask why the sudden change in everyoneâs mood and my colleagues arenât looking happy except Mia and I can see handcuffs on Matilda⌠Danielle replied
Itâs so sad to know that our boss isnât the one I used to know. You donât just prejudge people like you do nowadays. You called the cops on her despite her claiming sheâs innocent. My question is, did you check out footage of every happenings in the house? She asked
Wow! I never knew she could be this brave and I could see everyone staring at her in utmost surprise.
Do you wanna get arrested alongside her? Do you think I wouldnât have checked the footage before taking action? The boss replied and she laughed.
âYouâre wasting our time young lady. Can you just get straight to the point and tell her what the problem is and stop beating around the bush or you get yourself away from our way and letâs proceed in carrying out our duty? One of the cops said and she walked to his front.
âAlexander Wiltonâ she read aloud from the badge on his br-ast pocket. Can you just relax while I teach you how to do your job perfectly? She half yelled.
My other question is, did the camera capture her stealing the doc-ment and keeping in her room? She asked again but he kept quiet and ignored her question.
You see, ever since I got to this house, Iâve never been rude to anyone and Iâve always been the weakest but not until I was falsely accused of exchanging the bossâs doc-ment with a fake one and I was severely punished. The boss was too blind to see the truth and that shii hurts real bad.
Iâve always had my eyes on everyone in this house to see who the villain was and was convinced the day I caught Mia adding more sauce to Lucyâs cooking which I corrected secretly without anyone knowing till date and I saw the look of disappointment on her when she didnât see any effect of what she did working on her.
The real culprit here is Mia, not Matilda. So Iâd like you to remove that thing from her and put it on the real owner⌠She said
How dare you accuse me of stealing!!! Mia yelled and charged towards Danielle to slap her, but she was quick to dodge the slap. She raised her hand to make an attempt to slap her again but was held back by the boss.
And what evidence do you have to prove what you just said? He asked still holding her hand.
Of course we all know this country and itâs policy is no joke. It would be so dumb and stupid of me not to have evidence before talking so confidently⌠She said and brought out her phone
What!!! Whatâs going on? She asked no one in particular as she looked at her phone, âI guess sheâs lost the evidenceâ I heard Gabrielle say in a whisper. âI guess so tooâ I said in a whisper too but no one heard me like i heard Gabrielle.
Can you now see she was just bluffing, let go of my hand and have them leave the premises already⌠Mia said to the boss with a smirk
Wow! I got you all, I can see the look of triumphant on Miaâs face. Yâall must be thinking Iâve lost the evidence, right? Itâs really obvious.
Iâm sorry I had to put in that small show. This is the picture I took when I caught her stealing the doc-ment and taking them to Matildaâs room. I kept it in my phone just incase a situation like this occur⌠She said and handed her phone to the cops who later passed it on to the boss.
I heaved a sigh of relief and winked at her. âI owe you oneâ I whispered to her and she smiled. Release her and take this bitch instead. The boss said and they released me.
âIâm so sorry, I didnât mean to do it, it wasnât intentionalâ Mia pleaded as she was being handcuffed. Werenât you about to slap her claiming she was lying against you just now? The boss asked her.
âSave me pleaseâ she said to Gabriel and he shot her a deadly glare before going to sit.
I thought you both hate me, why donât you save your acquaintance now that sheâs in need of your help? I said in a jeering tone.
Iâm sorry for not making better research before calling you, please take her away and give her a proper punishment⌠The boss said to the cops and they saluted him.
âWeâre sorry for not doing our job properlyâ they apologized to us all before finally taking her away.
âThank you so much, I love and appreciate you for saving me just nowâ I said and jumped on Danielle while Gabrielle also came to hug me.
âYouâre welcome dear, letâs get back to our duty postsâ she replied and we disengaged from the hug.
I went to the bossâs front and made direct eye contact with him making him uncomfortable. âApologize alreadyâ I said inwardly but he left instead and I followed.
Why are you following me? He asked. âWell! Iâm doing my job, as your personal assistant here at home and trying my best not to be falsely accused of stealingâ I replied so as to make him feel guilty.
Leave now! Iâll call on you when I need your attention⌠He said.
What if your things get lost again? I asked still making direct eye contact with him.
I said leave and stop making me feel guilty!!! He half yelled and I laughed. âWell! Apologizing to me wonât make you feel less of a manâ I said but he left me instead and ascended the stairs.
âSee his headâ he said staring at his back while he climb the stairs.
đď¸ AT ELONâS BOSSâS RESIDENCEđď¸
Boss we found her location⌠Elon said to his boss as he sipped his wine. âGood, I need you to find any way of kidnapping her. We must get rid of her before she gains the power of coming for us, and I canât stand having any of my opponentâs family breathing the same air I breatheâ⌠His boss replied.
Okay sir! I learnt one of his workers got arrested recently and heâll be needing someone to replace her, so I plan on hiring a lady to disguise herself as a worker in that house. Itâll be easier to know everything she does so weâll get her in our hands and eliminate her afterwards⌠Elon replied and his boss clapped.
Youâre so wise, I donât regret making you my favourite. Just make sure you keep being you, so you wonât be my weakness⌠He replied
âTake this and use it for yourselfâ he said throwing a bundle of money on the table for him.
Thank you sir, Iâll bring her here tomorrow⌠Elon said with a bow before getting dismissed.
*Here she is sirâ he said as he brought in a lady as he promisedâ.
Wow! Sheâd fit perfectly for the job. Iâm sure youâve been told what youâre to do when you get to that house. Thatâs some money for you, youâll have another once you make progress in your line of duty⌠He said as he handed an envelope to her.
âGo now and bring me good news laterâ he said and patted her shoulder. âAlright bossâ the lady replied with a bow.
âI canât wait to have you in my hand Matildaâ he said and let out a wicked laughter.
